As you might have seen earlier, the amount of events and content presented in this years edition of the festival Asalto in Zaragoza has been so spanning that we impossibly could fit it in only one update. We are aware of that the works of all the artists during these eight days are worth more than just a glimpse, but we have decided to focus on just some specific productions from the event.
One of these are the work of Rosh from Elche, Spain, who made a conceptual continuation of the works he has been making during the last month.
‘Everything is color in movement‘
‘My contribution to Asalto this year comes linked to a series of pieces I have made in Madrid since the end of 2011 up until today…
This new form of working I based in using exclusively color, without adding any materials like I used to do, such as adding proper materials such as rock, bricks metals etc…
One example of this series of works that I have been making is made on the lower parts of walls, on the corners buildings, water pipes, metal plates in the street, those places where dogs and drunk people usually go to take a leak. What has interested me about these kinds of public places is the durability of the pieces, its alteration with time, and, specially due to the question on wether the street cleaners will ever erase these “spots of color”.
For this years edition of the festival I tried to adapt these pieces into a larger format, to size of a facade of building block. Using only tools which are new to me, I have scattered colors on this huge buildings wall.‘
